yeah ive seen that one. thats why i was asking. what it run again like 5 grand?
basically i want my xb9r to become a beast. im tired of jap bikes coming around me. its this or im goin to have to give in and sell to buy and 1125r. suggestions are welcome to my quest for power
well its up to you man. if you have a deep wallet anything can be done. With that being said it will cost you less money to make more hp with an 1125...or just wait for the new 1190 :D
you need a new bike
turbo numbers will not put you where you want to be with the jap I4 guys, especially if you are playing with the liter bikes.
performance with the 1k bikes is my goal as well, so I am saving my pennies for the 1190 and crossing my fingers that it will be the contender we all hope for.
u talking eric buell coming out with the bike he was suposed to before harley cut him? what will it be? and i just want to be able to spank and 600cc jap bike. yeah it would be nice to run with the 1000s and the liter bikes like the ducati, apprilla, and ktm but thats a very difficult dream to compete with. i just dont like guys who cant even ride coming around me on long straights even when i spank them in corners and off the line. annoyin!!!!
You can make a turbo Buell that will spank a I4 1000 cc Jap bike. Check out EricZ. He has a turbo xb 12 that makes 163 HP and like 138 FTlbs. on an XB12. I have NEVER SEEN any stock motorcycle make 138 ft.lbs of torque. Also a Busa would be lucky to lay down 163 HP in stock form to the tire and the Buell is MUCH lighter. So Yes it can be done and the numbers EricZ is making is at 12 ponuds of boost. It could still make more : )

Yea it can be done with enough money. I wish that he would sell it as a kit for people like me who don't have the background to build a turbo motor.
check out buelletinboard, there a a couple turbo buellers there, and even an in depth turbo build thread
